Some debatable issues of a draft law on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the 2015 Penal Code are among problems under scrutiny at the two-day seventh session of the National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee in Hanoi.

Opening the session on February 20, NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said the Standing Committee will give opinions on several arguable issues of the draft law on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of Penal Code No. 100/2015/QH13, and the draft law on irrigation.

They will also comment on the NA Standing Committee’s draft resolution on the benefits for and conditions ensuring NA deputies’ activities, and contents serving as the basis for the Government to perform its tasks, including a list of projects and capital allocated for each project in the 2016-20 mid-term public investment plan.

The Government’s issuance of a decree on specific budgetary and financial policies and mechanisms for Ho Chi Minh City, and the allocation of the state budget for the national target program on building new-style rural areas in Mekong River Delta communes by 2020 are also set to come under discussion, Ngan said.
